Don't know how anyone could give this less than five stars. Okay, it's not Carousel Ballroom '68 or Fillmore West '69, but for any rock n' roll band anywhere, anytime, this show is stellar. Great setlist, great playing by everybody. Pick a song and listen to Jerry's solo, and you'll hear it.
At about 5:30 of Stranger Jerry plays a riff that's so funky and so different from anything I've heard him play elsewhere...he just continues to blow my mind.

Awesome
The wife and I Flew all the way from Maui for this one and we were so glad we did. As Jerry broke in to "Standing on the Moon", a giant yellow full moon was rising over the stage (we were back on the lawn). I remember being blown away by Gimme some lovin' and the set list was perfect. The next week we saw The Who at Alpine Valley. By far, one of the best shows we've ever seen. This recording is absolutely awesome, a peak of peaks.

Just Gorgeous
This one had it all - great pickin', nice sound, cool vibes. Of course, "great pickin'" qualifies as damnation by faint praise. The show began with a solid, if decidedly unspectacular, LTGTR. At that point, we had no idea what we were in for. But the intensity of the first set grew steadily, to the point where Jerry (as reported earlier) actually sort of jumped - as much as he could - to end "The Music Never Stopped." It's difficult to explain, but the crowd was already buzzing in recognition of what would become a very, very special night. And the legendary second set proved us all right - in spades. They never again hit the peak they did with China-Rider that night. Just beautiful.

Peaking at their peak
This blessful show is sure to give all the chills. Golly, I miss the dang Grateful Dead! Thank goodness these days (i.e. 89-90 - their best IMHO) can be re-lived thru video and quality SDBs. I know this might sound strange, but the modern day media era has blessed us all, perhaps as much as the touring days. IDK, but it is nice to have such ready access.

Alpine was the best
IMO this is in the top 10 best shows of all time. July 1989 was exceptional as a whole, but this show (and the two nights that follow) is amazing. Everyone is playing inspired with a TON of energy. China/Rider is the best later era version ive ever heard. Chills thru-out Rider. Amazing LTGTR. The best Built To Last- no midi trumpet effect on the solo!! Hands down the best SOTM ever played. Jerry rips your heart out with the outro solo. like i said high energy ALL THE WAY through the show, and VERY, VERY good singing by ALL the guys (yes even bobby). The Alpine '89 run NEEDS to be commercially released as one of the "complete recordings series".

Cumberland and ChinaRider
Great show all the way around from a really good tour. The band was on for all of these Alpine Valley shows. There are some fabulous harmonies in this Cumberland in the 1st. It has always been one of my favorites from the '80s. The 2nd set starts out with a very hot China/Rider, which I don't think is overrated. Lots of energy in both sets. Great summer '89 show that is well worth the download. .

one of the top shows of the modern era
for me this is right up there with 10.9.89 and 9.20.90 as the best shows of the modern dead era. stranger and cumberland are both ridiculous, just exploding with energy. is the china-rider better than others from this (1989-1990) period? that's doubtful, but it's still pretty fantastic. not fade away has a nice funky crunch. this is classic stuff here people and should be part of any serious collection.

Wicked, just plain wicked.
I am always amazed when a show is not as mind-blowing as it semmed at the time. Such is not the case here. This is as good as I remembered it. Alpine Dead shows were always special. Having had both seats on the lawn and seats in the pavillion, I can recall that the pavillion felt like a separate theater, it was shaped in such a nice little bowl, the sound was clean and LOUD in the seats. Obviously these shows just rocked, hard. The boys were happy and so were us Heads. It makes me sad to face the fact that in his later years, when Jerry was clean(er)and somewhat healthy, he still had that intensity and fire and virtuosity, but when he was too f*ck*d up he just couldn't put it all together. God rest his soul (Brent too,) those magnificent bastards. The next night, with the SugarMags sandwich in the 2nd set was even better, imho. I miss those days. At least we have the music.

Subject:
Don't hate me - just calling it like I see it
Overall: great show for sure. Phil is really on in particular. But like Deer Creek, I honestly think these shows have been blown out of proportion over the years. Cal Expo and Greek, just after these shows were at least as good, IMO, and many of the fall shows were better.
The scene: 88 was the dustbowl. 89 was the mudbowl. I’d skipped many of the east coast stadium shows, and then started my tour in earnest at Deer Creek (then here and then Tanner and I continued out west). I remember PhC and Tanner were in the bus, but don’t remember exactly who else was there (Sissy or was he in his own vehicle?). In 88 it was Blackbird, this year it was Bid You Goodnight. In this pre-Dark Star-break-out era, BYG was really something to celebrate – and celebrate we did.
The music: why is it that when Brent starts swearing, the hairs on my neck stand up, and I know it’s going to be a good show? Everything in the first set is well played, but nothing crazy. Is this one of the last, if not the last, Push/Shove? Never one of my favorites, but not sure why they dropped it. Brent trinkles the keys nicely on this one. Music Never Stopped is the first sign that this show is going to be anything really above average, but near the end you can hear that Bobby and Jerry are not on the same page, with Bobby trying to bring the song to a close quite a while before Jerry wants to do so. China>Rider is very good, but I’m not sure why it gets quite the hype that others have given it. Same goes for Playing. I can think of at least 4 others from this year that are better and even the one from Laguna back in 88 (an underrated year, IMO) was better. Then there is very little jam out of Uncle John’s. Really nice SOTM though, for sure. Space through the end of the show is outstanding. This is where I think the show really gets its reputation. As I said above, the Bid You Goodnight was really amazing at the time. I put it up there in my memory with the Landover Ripple from 88. When they started tuning to play some else after, I remember some people calling out for a third set. Ha. Would’ve been nice, though, eh?

alpine valley run 89 is god
so i've decided i could establish a major religion based off the tapes from this run. the only way to describe the three shows is ambrosia; an orgasmic ecstacy of pleasure. summer 89 was the peak of latter day dead and alpine valley attests to that. all three nights were professionally video recorded (exerpts on downhill from here). i have a transfered video from the master pro-shot footage of the 3rd night. this means that videos exist for all three nights.... does anyone have the 17 or 18 on video? if so email me and i will send you my list of "liberated" GD vidz and we'll trade. BTW, i'm also looking for a cleaner/crisper video source for the 19th as my copy lost some quality through a makeshift transfer.

Solid
I like the review below. I don't hear a top ten show at this one myself, but it's a good show no doubt. I continue to listen to the DVD soundtrack though, which hacks the first set. 2nd set is classic stuff, but not as "out there" as Summer 1990 shows, which I think were even stronger.
Regarding getting these SBD's still. Why use VHS when you can just stream the MP3 directly into your home CD Recorder (if you have one)! It's more work but you can mark your tracks and enjoy. But, MP3 is inferior to the SHN's or FLAC's by a wide margin. I have bought every monthly download at GD Merch so far for the best available sound. They do a great job and $19 is a good price for what they give you.

Subject:
Top Ten!
well the good Dr. has been stuck in 1989 and 1990 lately, so this show is a good place to start. Sadly, near the end of Brent's life and ironically, he was playing perhaps as strong or better than he ever had. Brent's performance here equals anything Keith achieved in 1973. His organ work, in particular really shines here.
Even if you're a hard core 70's fan, and I certainly am - you've simply got to include this show in your collection. The intensity in the playing is evident from the first song, and it's immediately clear the band is here to rock tonight. Stranger is well jammed, and then by the time they get to Cumberland and All Over Now, Jerry's just on fire. He delivers what was to be the last version of Push - too bad, because this one is so strong, Jerry sounds so comfortable and in the groove - as if it's the JGB band instead. The closer Music is just off the charts and guaranteed to curl your hair. Warning - heart patients should skip this song!!
As expected, Set Two is where they really show the crowd that by summer 89, the group had achieved a new peak in their career. The China>Rider opener is surprisingly fresh and inspired for such an old horse. The jams in Playin and UJB are a bit short, but magical and the ensemble playing is just so on target it's easy to forget it's live. SOTM - what can you say? Jerry's voice is fine and strong, a classic version for all time. When Jerry sings -
"A lovely view of heaven, but I'd rather be with you" - well if you don't get a lump in your throat check your pulse. The solo brings the house down and leads to Drums.
Now - the Space. Each one of course is totally different, which is why I love them. This one remains one of my favorites of the late 80's. Never too harsh, yet inventive enough to not get boring. Only 7 minutes, but very mystical and introspective - a kalidoscope of different sounds and colors. Gets very weird near the end before blossoming into Wheel, with great spacy effects from Brent that just levitate you out of your chair.
I'll leave you to discover the rest of the set on your own. Needless to say, they saved the biggest fireworks till last. How hard can they rock out NFA? This is it folks, the real 1989 in all its glory and a top show for the year.
I have this SBD in a 128K MP3 version from you-know-where, and the sound quality is astounding - every bit as good to my ears as a SHN show. The other 2 nights are special as well, and I hope to review them soon. But this one holds the trophy. Find it, you gotta have!
cheers,
Dr. Flashback

Help
Obviously, without question this three night set was a very special event from pulling in the night before to packing it all up just covered in mud. Anyone who was fortunate enough to catch these shows knows, and for those who missed them all you have to do is listen. Truly a magical event in my life, filled with great stories and I am sure I am not alone in that regard. Unfortunately, I stumbled upon this awesome web site just a tad too late, and missed being able to download these three nights in their entirety as they were played. So I am asking for a little help to see if someone could upload AUD versions of these three nights to share with the community at large. Or if for some reason there's some sort of rule against that could you shoot me a line on how I might be able to get a copy. I don't have much to trade just some awesome memories that were getting awfully dusty, THANK YOU everyone who makes the sharing of such great music and great times possible.
Gratefully Yours,

Ive got some good news for people who want the SBD's on tape.
I have some good news. Although not perfect as far as obtaining digital transfer or the best transfer for that matter. There is a way of getting these soundboards and starting a collection to cherish for the rest of your life. You can stream the soundboards directly through a Hi-fi VCR,Super VHS,Beta or Reel to reel, or better,DAT.There should be an Output on your hard-drive and of course an input on recording systems. There you have it. For those who dont know, VHS tape is suprisingly very good quality. It brings out the bottom end very well,plus alot of us allready have many of the boards allready on disc,I know for sure that Deadheads will desperatly seek out others fans disc's. It will never be like the old days, where quality was such a big issue because too many people allreaDY have 'Literally' the master tapes or very good ones on disc.The disc trading could be a new thing taken to a new level,We will survive.

I agree with Trannyman. Why didn't they just release all three nights in their entirity on DHFH DVD? There are too many incredible songs left off the DVD. IMO, these three nights are the best "post coma" dead shows....PERIOD! They have it all...and the boys are playing so well together...the energy is electric from the first note of Good Times on 7/17 all the way through the last note of Lovelight on 7/19. Actually, if I were older and could have seen any shows after 1978, these would be the ones. PURE MAGIC!!!!!!!!!!!!

Solid show with incredible sound! First set highlights for me include an amazing Jimmy, Stranger, Masterpiece, Push, and of course Music Never Stopped. Hey, its the one from Fallout from the Phil Zone! You gotta love it when Brent hits that high note and sustains it over the rest of the band during the jam! Set two is a monster with the most intense China Rider I have heard from this period followed by a great SOTM. I love this song and the placement before Drums is pretty cool IMHO! Don't forget about the We Bid You Goodnite- the first since Winterlands closing according to Deadlists!
Sound is one thing I am very picky about with late 80/90's shows and this show delivers. If they got lazy they could release this as is; it sounds that good, just like you were there. Lots of color and crispiness! Everyone is nicely balanced unlike other SBDs I have come across from this era.
This is definately one to take with you to that "desert island" if you choose to go there- otherwise enjoy with some headphones or in the yard with close friends! Five stars- this one's "Absoutly Perfect!"

I'd say this is the 2nd best show of the post coma era, just behind 10/9/89, which is a totally and completely different kind of show. Obviously that's a subjective statement. I'd have to say that the GD planned the Warlocks shows as they happened since they had just banned camping in parking lots and wanted to get folks more excited about the music. On this night in Alpine Valley, they were just psyched to be there and simply destroyed. I would bet anything that the Bid You Goodnight was not planned at all, they knew they played the second set of a lifetime. This entire run is a breed apart.

Alpine 89'
This show was definetly a breakthrough. The 1st set is solid but no way would it lead you to belive that the boys were going to pull off one of the best shows of the Decade. China- Rider is perfect and ends with an amazing solo by Garcia. Playin'is hot with all the right acccentuations during the Bridge the jam is very jazzy and melts into a very clypso style Uncle Johns. During the final jam Weir and Brent lock into a powerful groove and Garcia goes with it. The Standing is very soulful and just fades out into the drums beautifuly. Post drumz is as good as it gets pure Rock and Roll. After the Wheel Brent stays on the Hammond the rest of the show he really Takes the show home. We Bid you Good Night is a great treat. I hope most of you have the Video of this show it is by far the best of any releases to date including the seventies. Again the Finest China Rider of All Time.

I love the energy. Fantastic second set! These types of shows simply weren't maintained too far into the 1990s. Jerry's got focus and inspiration, and it shows. A second set that makes me up the volume, open a heineken, have a "smoke", boogie around, maybe piss off my neighbours - hee hee.
Love the band, saw many shows, tortured many friends with my favourite bootlegs on cassette over the years. But, with all due respect, damn they can't sing together. One at a time - no problem at all. I always wondered why they persisted in even "trying" to harmonize. C'mon, we've all heard many a teeth-grinding UJB (although the one in this show is really good and intense).
Played Cumberland Blues from this show, thought my dog was going to start howling from the "harmonies".
And this show is one of the better ones, in terms of singing. Especially the Row Jimmy, Masterpiece, NFA
Jerry plays a wicked China/Rider, UJB! Band is tight on The Wheel! Check out Phil and Jerry on GDTRFB!

Smokin' Show
The boys are truly firing on all cylinders in this show. For me some of the highlights include a tasty Row Jimmy (excellent vocals). a super jammin' phil-bomb droppin' TMNS, a high flyin' China/Rider, and great covers of It's All Over Now and Gimme Some Lovin'. The sound quality is also EXCELLENT. The vocals are crisp clear and out front and the instrumentation is well-balanced and fully audible. This is not one of the those echo-plagued 80's shows or a show that suffers from the vocals being drowned out by the instruments. This is a show that you will listen to alot. Not only because of the great sound, but because of the performance and the nice set list.

Alpine '89 run
These were excellent shows! The first one was a nice, hot day, the rest of the time in rained and rained until after the 3rd night was over.
Does anyone remember the full moon over the back of the stage during 'Standing on the Moon' ? I got a bit lost the second night and actually asked a policeman directions - I also asked him how many people the police were estimating that were present and he told me over 400,000!!! The place only holds about 40,000 ...
I was up by the tree on the first night - the only tree on the lawn. The show really got going during 'It's All Over Now'. Then it just got better and better. Excellent 'Row Jimmy' as I remember! Of course who could forget the 'We Bid you Goodnight'! That was a nice suprise ;-)
Also - nice first set closer - 'Music Never Stopped'. Excellent 'China->Rider' too!.
I'll never forget these shows and hold the first one in my memory very fondly.
A long trip from PA but worth going and I highly recommend having a copy of this show with you wherever you go!

One of the best ever
The fact that the Dead released this night on video as "Downhill From Here" should tell you what THEY thought of the evening. In The Grateful Dead Taping Compendium, Vol 3, John Dwork comments on the entire three-show run at Alpine in 1989, and lists the highlights of this particular show as "...every damn note."
Two of the many notable hightlights:
1) Not Fade Away. Usually a throw-away tune, this version sparkles. Raunchy, energetic, full of life. Jerry was bobbing back and forth while playing this, and during his second solo, bends a note so forcefully that he knocks his head back with his eyes closed, a shit-eating grin on his face. I was there, and I recall that plain as day. We all went "Whew!"
2) The first And We Bid You Goodnight since the closing of Winterland (11 years). There was a momentary scream of joy from the audience when the first notes came out of Jerry's mouth, then everybody just as quickly shut up and enjoyed.
This show will rank as one of the best Grateful Dead concerts of all time.

This is the show from the 'Downhill From Here" video (which actually takes its last two first set songs from other nights of the run). The last ever sunny day at Alpine, this show is incredible--best I ever saw, bar none. An absolute gem from start to finish. The 'China>Rider' is fantastic, everything post-'Drumz' is unbelievably hot. Insane crowd, beautiful day, monstrous show. Fabulous sound quality here to boot. Thanks, folks.
